A couple of weeks ago I had to chop some semi dried tomatoes, a job I have always hated, it is so mucky. I don't know if this is an 'original' idea or not, but I grabbed my kitchen scissors to chop them up and it worked really well - no oily chopping board to clean up ... bliss!!

Update. A lot of water has gone under the bridge since I wrote this originally.
At that time I rented a CPAP machine for a couple of months and really didn't like it so I returned it. The next step was a mouth 'appliance' to stop snoring. It was extortionately expensive and I suspect the technician was only interested in making a sale, not helping my problem.
Once again, a failure. It changed my "bite" totally - I was unable to chew properly and I was forever biting my inner cheeks to the point of bleeding, etc. so that got put to one side as well and once again I was faced with the 'dreaded' CPAP. So I clenched my teeth and went for one again and this time I am very happy with it. I think when I had my first experience with the machine I simply wasn't ready for one and this time I was happy to go with it and it has made a big difference.
It is not 100% perfect and sometimes annoys me, but it has made a huge difference (and DH is getting an uninterrupted night's sleep at last) so, if anyone is contemplating a CPAP I would encourage you to consider it seriously.

Hope you are better, Chookie. I had a short spell of vertigo last year and it was no fun, fortunately my GP gave me some exercises to do which were a massive help. Take care.

A worthwhile trip, Katie. Those recycling depots sound like an excellent idea.

I have neither seen nor heard from her for a long time, Robyn.
How are you going up north, have you been caught in any of the severe weather?

The Laucke Wallaby flour worked out at $2.20 a kilo.
That was a good buy, Chookie

Vege stew, beans and potatoes, macaroni salad, vegan parmesan, smoky macaroni with cauliflower and broccoli (too much pasta!)

Good to hear, Cookie. I was curious about that one.
I have ordered one of the adaptations that keeps small quantities at the bottom of the bowl (bad description, but I cannot remember the name at the moment). It's for when you are grinding nuts, making pesto or small quantity sauces, etc.

What a stressful day you had, K Atie. You must have been really wound up to have missed your turnoff to home.
Take care in this weather, everyone.

It was so hot today that some of my small tomatoes cooked on the bush.
Oh dear! Instant puree?

DD and I had fun making one of those rugs when she was young. I've no idea what ever happened to it.
During the weekend DS took a big bag of tomatoes and two jars of chutney to a friend and exchanged them for a big bag of onions and two different types of potatoes. A good trade but now I have lots of onions to cut up. No doubt I will be crying by the time I finish cutting them up.
That was a good trade, Margaret, I sympathise with the tears, though. Had my CT scan yesterday and will not hear for another week or so what the results are and what the next step will be. It is our public holiday next Monday, won't make any difference to me as it is my regular day off.

Thanks for the link Chookie, I use a lot of her recipes and really like them - although these days the recipes are full with adverts (the last one I looked at had 13 different adverts throughout the recipe - some static and some 'rolling' - and I found it very off-putting - I understand the income from advertising, but she may find that such a heavy load of unwanted adverts might lose her more followers than they are worth - just my view, anyway).

My FIL used to make these as well. Hope you have fun with yours, it looks very colourful.
